MOTOR1: Jeep Scrambler Rubicon Pickup Render Looks Trucking Awesome

The rendered droptop version lets occupants soak up the sun while hauling a bed-load of gear.

We haven’t seen spy shots of Jeep’s Wrangler-based pickup in a few months, but these new renderings of the truck, reportedly called the Scrambler, whet our appetite for a fresh look at the much-anticipated model. An artist named Wraith created the images and posted them first on Jeep Scrambler Forum.

Wraith renders the Scrambler in range-topping Rubicon trim. He imagines it both in traditional hardtop form and with a folding fabric roof that would be perfect for a summer drive. The rugged, off-road ability and opening top could bring something very different to the truck market that might appeal to buyers who aren’t interested in a traditional pickup.

The renderings fit closely with earlier photos of the pickup. The only element that might be different is that the bed could be a little longer than it appears here. See the spy shot below for comparison.

The Scrambler will look nearly identical to a Wrangler Unlimited except for the pickup bed at the back. The models will also share powertrains, including a 3.6-liter V6 and 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder. A diesel mill and a hybrid powerplant will possibly be available for the truck, too, like on the Wrangler vehicles.
